Wake up your joints and stretch into Spring as Dina K returns to the Church! Join us as Dina K. guides us through some gentle joint work and stretches that promote good posture and mobility.
“We need to first establish a conscious awareness of how we embody our physical bodies,” says Dina. “When we take full responsibility for how we think and feel in our bodies we can then start working toward a healthier, more balanced existence. Taking action from that empowered state makes it much more likely to heal and transform our being.”
Please bring a yoga mat and water bottle and wear comfortable clothing.
A heartfelt and special thank you to Dina for donating this program to The Church’s wellness program.
Take your drawing skills to the next level! Join artist & educator Kylee Snow for an intermediate workshop on the practice of still life drawing and learn the key techniques behind translating three-dimensional forms to a two-dimensional surface. With guidance from Snow, participants will further develop their understanding of perspective, as well as the properties of light and shadow.
Activate your imagination and devise your own personal mythology! Presented by interdisciplinary artist & writer Bunni Brown, this fictional storytelling workshop delves into the process of narrative development and worldbuilding through research, writing, and self-reflection. Explore how themes of magic-surrealism and improvisation can be used to blend fact and fiction, while delivering meaningful stories to an audience.
On the happy occasion of our 5th birthday, we invite you to meet the team here at The Church that makes it happen – to get to know a little bit more about each member of the team, and to gain insights into how things work and the role each plays. Stick around after the talk to help us celebrate the momentous occasion by singing a sweet Happy Birthday to our oasis of creativity and enjoy a delicious birthday cake.
This celebration provides an opportunity to gather and celebrate community and the rare opportunity perspective on the successful inner workings of an arts institution. From a crawling infant to a tumbling toddler, to now a child ready to take on the world, The Church has evolved, grown, and built its own living legacy in the heart of Sag Harbor. Here’s your opportunity to learn from the team that continues to make it all happen, and to demystify the typically opaque intrigues of arts administration. Following short introductions by each of the members of our team there will be a Q&A with the audience, where your questions will be welcomed and fielded by the appropriate member of the staff.
Hear from: Samuel Havens, Workshop & Residency Manager; Joseph Jagos, Exhibition Coordinator; Johnnoy Johnson, Production Assistant; Madeline Maxfield, Visitor Engagement Associate; Casey Kleister Meyer, Operations Manager; Sheri Pasquarella, Executive Director; Ariel Ransom, Administrative Assistant; Kristen Santori, Programming and Communications Manager; and Whodi Warjeko, Event Assistant.

An extensive body of work that has been ongoing since 1997, The Infinity Series brings together compositions Armstrong has made through a unique process of photographing found images with a camera’s focusing ring set at infinity, rendering a completely new image that is extremely out of focus. Armstrong creates new worlds, hovering between real and fantasy, where things are just beyond our grasp. In this world, the viewer is unable to fully resolve the image. Armstrong believes that the “psyche momentarily derailed” by this is what frees the viewer to respond emotionally.

Immerse yourself in the art and practice of pinhole photography! Taught by artist and educator Erwin List Sanchez, this hands-on workshop will introduce participants to the history and process of the pinhole camera (also known as a ‘camera obscura’) and demonstrate how a simple cardboard box can be transformed into a lens-less photographic device. Throughout the afternoon, participants will have the unique opportunity to create their own pinhole cameras and use them to capture black & white images from in and around The Church. At the conclusion of the workshop, each participant will have successfully captured, exposed, and developed their own pinhole negative. After developing, the negatives will be digitally scanned and inverted to reveal the positive image.
